Senior Section

The Senior Section at the Cathedral School caters for boys and girls from 11-16 years of age. A traditional academic education, with sciences separately taught by specialists, along with a range of modern languages (Welsh, French, Spanish, German) in addition to the classics (Latin, Greek), is delivered alongside very competitive sport (senior pupils have an unusually generous amount of time allocated to sport) and outstanding opportunities in the Arts. Please explore full details elsewhere on this website.

Examination results are excellent, the school being regularly placed in performance tables as one of the top five schools in Wales at GCSE, and at a very high ranking in UK-wide terms also.
